review by Liam
This product saves money and uses room-temperature water. After I got a bad burn from using a french press, I looked into making cold brew. This system is very easy to use, makes a bunch of coffee, and does not involve boiling water. Cold brew is also very tasty.
Pros:
Coffee tastes great, even with cheaper grounds
Can make coffee concentrate! Along with its large capacity, can last for awhile
Only need room-temperature water
No power needed- can be made anywhere that is most convenient for you
Cons:
Can get pretty heavy when filled
Removing the filter can be precarious
The small rubber circle that sits at the top of the filter gets lost easily
Scooping grounds in the filter cup can get messy
Other aspects of using this product to consider: Requires a good grip and some strength to lift.
Similar products to consider: Keurig Coffee Makers are nice, but coffee is initially very hot, the water carafe is difficult to fill, and the system has to be kept plugged in.
review update
I dropped the full jar and it broke into five pieces. I did like it, but I’ve stopped using glass kitchenware. It also wasn’t so easy for me to spoon in the grounds.
